Personally left this hotel after the first night and went to the Radisson Blu. Felt like a backpackers hotel. The room doesn’t look like the photos, it’s very old and worn. The hallway carpet was filthy carpet and the elevator has this weird They provided a refund but I would not recommend.

Our short but lovely stay in Nice.

The hotel is very close to the old town and to the central train station. The location made our life logistically very easy. The room was very comfortable and clean. 24 hours reception service. Although we didn’t need any breakfast we saw that they serve fresh and satisfactory food. Ideal for business trips too. I would definitely stay again.

Short Stay in Nice

Ideally placed for the station - quiet and near some excellent restaurants in the rue Paganini. Room quite small but perfectly adequate for a short stay. Would help if the reception either spoke English or spoke more slowly in French!

We reserved a triple room (the single bed was a little small…) and found the size of the room more than adequate. Having access to a mini fridge, kettle, hair dryer and safe was extremely beneficial to our trip. A surprise bonus was a closet with shelves in the room! The hotel location was excellent for proximity to the train station being within a 3 minute walk. Dining and shopping areas were also walkable. There were 2 nights that were quite warm in the room where the ventilation system did not turn on. (Maybe it was our error!) Overall we had an enjoyable experience and would stay at this hotel again.

The room was really small and the bed was put together with pieces that do not fit together. It was all in all poorly made, tight and didn't give us anything for the money.

Efforts are made. "I'll be back"!

Good hotel, conveniently located minutes away from the train station and minutes away from Avenue Jean Médecin - the main street that takes you to Promenade des Anglais. Friendly staff ready to help with anything. Rooms equipped with functional AC where I could set the temperature to 19°C (the way I like it). Quite new mattress and white, clean-smelling bedding. The way the bed is made needs to be reconsidered. Kettle with coffee and tea. Small quiet fridge. Closet with circa 8 hangers and reserve pillow in plastic bags for protection. Modern bathroom with good smelling soap and shampoo. Good and stable Wi-Fi. Fresh lemonade in hotel's lobby. Good coffee. I didn't need but if I am not mistaken there's free acces to the coffee machine 24/7. There were som issues here and there. The hard-to-please tourist in me has brought them to the hotel's staff and it's all good now. I will book again.

Coming from USA with only one quick overnight in Nice, with very little time to visit unfortunately. This hotel fit that purpose perfectly. Has a hip, young person vibe. Kind staff. Simple, small, clean with nice breakfast and easy walking access to train station. Was quiet for us even with train station and street nearby. Long walk to the ATM at the CCF Bank down by the water but the exchange rate had no markup and no transaction fees, unlike all other bank (banque) in the area (we tried 4 others). I would stay again. There's a sister hotel next door that looked a lit bit fancier if needed.

We stayed at this hotel in Nice and we had great experience. This hotel was only five minutes from the train station and check-in. Staff was very friendly and professional. Rooms were very not super modern but cute, quiet and comfortable . We even had a little balcony. Free 24 hour coffee and water fill station was a huge plus in a city where water will cost €2,00. Definitely recommended.

Die Teppichböden im Aufzug bzw. im Treppenhaus sind der Horror! Mit Flecken übersät, schaut absolut asozial aus. Hoffe, dass die Flecken nicht alle von den Hunden, welche erlaubt sind, kommen! In denn Zimmern war zum Glück kein Teppich und daher einigermaßen wohnlich.

Hyggelig betjening, sentralt. Likte dessverre ikke frokost - lite utvalg og mesteparten var allerede tomt selv om vi var der på forskjellig tidspunkt (innenfor frokosttiden). Valgte heller å spise ute selv om frokost var inkludert i prisen.
